About the Course

What are people most afraid of? What do our dreams mean? Are we natural-born racists? What makes us happy? What are the causes and cures of mental illness? This course tries to answer these questions and many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, persuasion, emotions, and social behavior. We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they differ across people, how they are wired-up in the brain, and how they break down due to illness and injury....

Es sólo un curso introductorio, pero el profesor y el material me han parecido excepcionales. no he sido capaz de traducir al español los cuestionarios y eso me ha hecho dudar más, pero así he practicado inglés. Todo perfecto. Gracias

Please kindly increase the span of the course, it would be helpful for the comprehensive study of the topics. Present course provides just an overall idea about psychology. Moreover, the course was just like trying to justify its title

Genial el curso, muy completo, dinamico e interesante. El profesor excelente. Mi escolaridad es licenciatura en Ingenieria Quimica, nada que ver con este curso, pero es tan bueno que voy a buscar màs, tal vez hasta cambie de carrera.

I've heard that psychology is hard, but from this course, I only felt the power, not difficulty, of psychology. Professor Bloom is good at bringing full understandings to students, though he had some of his own opinion on some events.

Fantastic course, teacher was amazing. I loved the graphics. The strong focus on proper scientific approaches & evaluation of evidence was highly appreciated. Great introduction to something that is very far away from my own field.

Coursera is the best application that is providing courses with certificate. Some of them are free and some need to be paid but they provide a trial also for paid courses. The quality of video is awesome in both the type of courses.
